This is a perfect match to any Brazillian Cherry Bellawood hardwood floring. The wood is very hard and a good nailer (using brads) will not work because the nails will bend before they shoot through this wood.

Do yourself the favor: pre-drill small hole and hand nail some finishing nails through to hold these in to place.

I especially liked that the shoe molding came stained already in the box. A few companies stain the shoe molding on site. I found that with it already stained, the colors were the same as the wood floors. Much better match!

Laminate flooring can be used to cover a set of stairs but due to the overlap design of the stair nosings it would not be my first choice for a full flight of stairs.We sell replacement stair treads, retro-fit treads and risers. Thank you for your inquiry.

You could use the laminate or a painted pine board to cover the riser or if you are referring to a trim piece; shoe molding or scotia trim.Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:

What are the dimensions of the stair nose. I'm waiting for the stair nose to be delivered, but would like to install the floor up to where the stair nose will go. How far from the stair edge should I leave the end of the flooring?
